Southwest Flavor: Adela Amador's Tales from the Kitchen

Rating:
Summary: Downright Delicious
Review: If you're looking for a New Mexican - Southwestern cookbook that is simple, authentic and downright delicious, then this book is for you. Adela Amador has done a superb job of compiling a collection of unpretentious recipes that are easy to prepare and elegant in their simplicity. She divides the book into seasons and provides wonderful recipes for New Mexican classics such as Green Chile Stew, Fajitas, Sopaipillas and Bizcohitos. In addition she includes some other wonderful recipes such as Cranberry Pecan Pie and Chile Pork Roast. Along with the recipes, she includes an anthology of delightful stories which chronicle her life growing up in New Mexico. It is a cookbook that you will actually want to read from cover to cover - I did. I also plan to buy several copies to give as holiday gifts this year. All I can say is - buy this book, you'll be glad you did!
